Improper Venu Sports: Southern District of New York Blocks Launch of Sports-Streaming Joint Venture Between Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery

The Southern District of New York took the extraordinary step of granting competitor Fubo’s effort to preliminarily enjoin the launch of “Venu Sports,” a sports-streaming joint venture between Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers Discovery.¹ The defendants would license their collective sports content unbundled from non-sports programming exclusively to the joint venture while continuing to require competing distribution platforms like Fubo to purchase sports programming as part of a bundle with non-sports programming. Indeed, the court explained that “shortly before the JV was announced, the JV Defendants explicitly agreed to ‘stay clear’ of supporting another platform like the JV for at least the next three years.” In determining that the joint venture would likely substantially lessen competition, the court stated that the defendants’ history of bundling provided “crucial context” for its determination that the joint venture’s market power and structure created incentives for the defendants to monopolize a segment of the live pay TV market. The defendants plan to appeal the ruling.
